    Is there a rule of thumb for launch angle vs club's loft?

    I don't even know how it would be possible. ChatGPT suggests it probably isn't. 😄

    Is there a rule of thumb for launch angle vs club's loft?

    I was just using it as an example. The type of guy who has to know what club they hit 50 yards probably also wants to know what his launch angle is on a 6 iron. The type of person who just uses one club for pitching from all distances and 'feels' it, is the type who doesn't care about launch...

    Random Irritations

    It used to be sort of fun to try and spot the April Fool stories in the media and socials. Now there are so many completely invented quotes and bogus AI-written clickbait nonsense that we get to play that game all year round.

    Is there a rule of thumb for launch angle vs club's loft?

    I think there are two types of golfers, broadly. You have feel guys and numbers guys. Personally I like numbers, even if I'm kidding myself to say I understand them all. 😁 Would love to be a feel guy, but when I'm on the course I couldn't tell you what's 40 yards and what's 80 yards, my brain...

    Well I would be in the slow category by those metrics.

    Is there a rule of thumb for launch angle vs club's loft?

    If people are saying launch angle should be half the loft of the club, then I should be launching 6 iron at 12 degrees?? That doesn't sound right.

    I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

    Went out on the back nine for a practice - weather was warmer than I expected! Was wishing I'd put shorts on, and I also made a rookie error in not changing into a collared shirt before leaving so I had to leave my jumper on! 🥵 Pretty standard mixed bag really. Knocked a 3 wood in to 6 feet on...

    Yeah, it's hard to relax when you might get a golf ball to the back of the head isn't it??

    The Footie Thread

    What? That makes it even worse. They literally made up a nonsense award just so they could get him involved with no justification.

    The Footie Thread

    Don't forget that Fifa gave him that nonsense 'peace prize' so he is inexorably linked to the event now.

    Haha, I'd never heard of Blackstone and thought it was going to be his new clothing brand - obviously from the vid I was meant to think that and he's trolling us. :LOL:

    The Footie Thread

    On the contrary, I think they probably did want De Zerbi but he initially said he wanted to start afresh next season, which would be why they got an interim manager in. Now they've gone back to DZ and said "The interim manager didn't bloody work, PLEASE can you take over now??" If he fails to...

    The Masters 2026

    Don't do the naive act, it makes you look silly. It was obviously a LIV point from the start, which is why you posted it.

    The Masters 2026

    Have you gone senile? You brought up the story of Nantz not watching Bryson, which is obviously tantamount to saying he doesn't watch LIV events. But called others obsessed for responding in kind? Very odd statement.
